The Black Dot Lesson
What Do You See?

 

"I can do all this through him who gives me strength" Philippians 4:13 (NIV).

There are two ways to prepare for the presentation of this devotion/object lesson:
1) Use 1 large poster that is easily seen from the back of the room. With a permanent marker, draw a black dot at any random spot on the poster, or 
2) Use plain 3x5 or 4x6 index cards and place a black dot on each one. It doesn't matter if the dots are drawn in the same spot on each card. The cards with a black dot will be given to each person in the audience. (Note: If all you have available are cards with lines printed on them, use the plain back side of the card. The audience member may want to make notes about the lesson on the lined side. Doing this on the small cards is a good way for the audience to share this object lesson later with others. Taking notes might encourage them to do so.)

Presentation 
If using the large poster, hold it up or put it on an easel for everyone to see. 

The Lesson

Ask, "What do you see?" (On the poster or cards. Most, if not all, will finally come to the conclusion that they see a black dot.)

Challenge them to take their time and look again carefully. 

Ask, "Do you see anything other than the dot?" If the answer comes back still nothing is seen but the black dot, the speaker says, "I'm really surprised. You have completely overlooked the most important thing of all  . . . keep reading.
